Broken Glove Box in E34

remove the handle. Pulling the shiny lever in the direction of the red arrow will open the Glove Box. If you can insert a tiny hook under the plastic handle and pull the lever down-right, you will release the mechanism. It is an easier job when you can pull up the lever being locked.

that act as hinge axis for the handle. They go trough the holes in the metal bracket, and into the plastic tubes molded in the handle. Normally, the plastic tubes break apart releasing the pin and separating the metal bracket from the handle. There is also a spring that reset the handle to its original position once released.

Thanks. I took apart the touring and saw that it has those roll pins in there. Going to go grab a pair tomorrow and get it fixed.
